“Shared problems require cooperative efforts. Weeds know no boundaries and it is only by eliminating boundaries that a weed management program will succeed.”
The mission of the Sonoran Desert Cooperative Weed Management Area (SD-CWMA) is to bring together communities and organizations across Pima County to reduce the spread and impacts of invasive plants. Through coordinated action, education, and outreach, we work to protect people and ecosystems, manage invasive plants, and strengthen regional stewardship. At the heart of our work is a community united by a shared commitment to this mission.
The Sonoran Desert Cooperative Weed Management Area (SD-CWMA) is born out of the partnerships and hard work of the Buffelgrass Working Group. While the SD-CWMA continues to primarily focus on buffelgrass, there are other invasive species that many of our partners work with and we need to be ever vigilant for new invasive weeds, to stop them before they get out of control. We hope that this web site is informative for you. If you have questions or feedback, please contact us.
